Complex Analysis Of The Lossy-Transmission Line Theory: A Generalized Smith Chart, E. Gago-Ribas, C. Dehesa-Martinez, M. J. Gonzalez-Morales
Complex Analysis Of The Lossy-Transmission Line Theory: A Generalized Smith Chart, E. Gago-Ribas, C. Dehesa-Martinez, M. J. Gonzalez-Morales
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
It has been very usual in the specialized literature to skip the detailed study of the lossy transmission line theory by reducing it to the low-loss approximation. Although this is valid in the most common practical cases, the study of the general lossy case becomes very important due to the fact that it makes possible a better and deeper understanding of the physical effects associated to general losses, as well as the low-loss frequency-dependent regime. Besides, the analysis of the general case provides important results that may be extended to the analysis of real waveguiding systems, facilitating the understanding and …

Uplink Practical Capacity And Interference Statistics Of Wcdma Cigar-Shaped Microcells For Highways In Rural Zones With Non-Uniform Spatial Traffic Distribution And Imperfect Power Control, Bazil Taha Ahmed, Miguel Calvo Ramon, Leandro De Haro-Ariet
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The capacity (the maximum number of users per sector that the system can support) and the interference statistics (expected value and variance) of sectors composed of cigar-shaped WCDMA microcells are studied. A model of 5 microcells is used to analyze the uplink capacity and interference statistics. The microcells are assumed to exist in rural zone highways. The capacity and the interference statistics of the microcells are studied for different non-uniform spatial traffic distributions. As user density decreases away from the base station, the capacity of the sector increases due to the reduced total power transmitted by the interfering users.
State-Space Synthesis Of Current-Mode First-Order Log-Domain Filters, Ali̇ Kirçay, Uğur Çam
State-Space Synthesis Of Current-Mode First-Order Log-Domain Filters, Ali̇ Kirçay, Uğur Çam
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes current-mode first-order log-domain filters, which are systematically derived using the state-space synthesis procedure. First-order low-pass, high-pass, and all-pass responses are obtained with different circuit types. The filter circuits have very simple structures, since they use only bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and a grounded capacitor. They can be electronically tuned by changing an external current. The filters have a greater bandwidth due to inherently current-mode and log-domain operation. PSPICE simulations are given to confirm the theoretical analysis.

Controlling Rail Potential Of Dc Supplied Rail Traction Systems, Mehmet Turan Söylemez, Süleyman Açikbaş, Adnan Kaypmaz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Most modern DC electrified mass transit systems use a totally floating earth as their grounding strategy. A well-known problem related with totally floating systems is that the touch potentials can be dangerously high. In order to reduce the voltages on rails, several devices exist. Most of these devices allow a direct connection to earth when a certain voltage threshold is exceeded. In this paper, the working principles of these devices are given and the effect of certain parameters related with these devices on the minimum achievable touch potentials is investigated.

Two, Three And Four-Dimensional Electromagnetics Using Differential Forms, Karl F. Warnick, Peter Russer
Two, Three And Four-Dimensional Electromagnetics Using Differential Forms, Karl F. Warnick, Peter Russer
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The exterior calculus of differential forms provides a mathematical framework for electromagnetic field theory that combines much of the generality of tensor analysis with the computational simplicity and concreteness of the vector calculus. We review the pedagogical aspects of the calculus of differential forms in providing distinct representations of field intensity and flux density, physically meaningful graphical representations for sources, fields, and fluxes, and a picture of the curl operation that is as simple and intuitive as that of the gradient and divergence. To further highlight the benefits of differential forms notation, we demonstrate the flexibility of the calculus of …
Speech Pre-Processing For Pitch And Pitch-Cylce Evolutions Smoothing, Hassan Farsi
Speech Pre-Processing For Pitch And Pitch-Cylce Evolutions Smoothing, Hassan Farsi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In low bit rate speech coders, pitch is usually transmitted once per frame and, when needed, the intermediate pitch values are obtained by interpolation between 2 adjacent pitch values. Although pitch usually evolves slowly, sometimes it has irregular variations and the estimated pitch differs from the real one. In addition, some speech coders, e.g., waveform interpolation coders, rely on smooth pitch-cycle evolutions to extract speech model parameters in the analysis stage. However, non-stationary characteristics of speech may lead to inaccurate estimation of the parameters. This affects the synthesised speech quality. We propose a pre-processor, which modifies the residual speech signal …
Adaptive 3d Visual Servo Control Of Robot Manipulators Via Composite Camera Inputs, Türker Şahi̇n, Erkan Zergeroğlu
Adaptive 3d Visual Servo Control Of Robot Manipulators Via Composite Camera Inputs, Türker Şahi̇n, Erkan Zergeroğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper considers the problem of position control of robot manipulators via visual servoing in the presence of uncertainty associated with the robot dynamics and the vision system. Specifically, an adaptive controller is designed to compensate for the uncertainties associated with the mechanical parameters of the robot manipulator and the intrinsic parameters of the cameras. The 3D visual information is obtained from the composite inputs of two separate cameras placed in the robot work space. Despite the uncertainties associated with the camera system and robot dynamics the proposed adaptive controller achieves asymptotic end effector position tracking. A Lyapunov based approach …

A Labview-Based Virtual Instrument For Engineering Education: A Numerical Fourier Transform Tool, Levent Sevgi̇, Çağatay Uluişik
A Labview-Based Virtual Instrument For Engineering Education: A Numerical Fourier Transform Tool, Levent Sevgi̇, Çağatay Uluişik
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Engineering is based on practice. The minima of this practice should be given during the university education. This has become more and more comprehensive and expensive parallel to high-technology devices developed and presented to societies. Computers, microprocessor-based devices, programmable systems on Chip (PSoC), etc., make engineering education not only very complex but interdisciplinary as well. Building undergraduate labs has become more and more expensive if only physical experimentation and hands-on training are targeted. On the other hand, simple, comparatively much cheaper software may turn a regular personal computer (PC) into a virtual lab. The key question therefore is, to establish …
